Today, a customer actually bumped into me. He was looking around, walking slowly, and I thought he saw me. a little light tap as his basket touches me. He looks at me, wide-eyed, and walks off in the direction he was already going in. *shrugs* There weren't any calls for me to go anywhere until after lunch, so I did my regular tasks, plus some extra spot mopping to stay ahead of likely calls. After lunch, of course, I got calls to be in three places at once, plus one to clean up the spill I was already cleaning up. It was a sugar trail. A bag of sugar in a customer's cart gets a hole in it, and it pours out wherever their cart goes, all over multiple aisles, creating a traction hazard that's plainly visible from a distance but nearly invisible if you're right on top of it. Plus other customers can't see it so they track through and spread it with their carts. (It was Saturday. It was bound to get busy like that sooner or later.)
When I came in to work this morning, the Ladies' Room deadbolt had already been torn off. (It had been affixed to the door with something akin to rubber cement.) When I was leaving after my shift, DG was re-attaching the lock with steel carriage bolts drilled all the way through the door to the outside. I would've tried superglue, if I'd had time to attempt it, but I approve of his more Binnford Tools approach.
I also spoke with another of my named leads for the Convention, but while he was interested in attending, he wasn't interested in running anything. He said he _played_ games but didn't _run_ them, claiming relative inexperience at rpgs and ccgs compared to others in the store. (He suggested (name), and I said, 'but that's the person who sent me to you', so he gave me a different name, who I'll definitely try, as it's someone who's already shown themselves to be cool and friendly.) Also today, the geek I spoke to yesterday told someone else about the Convention. So, yeah. Momentum.
